57028 | Or did incomers bring them to a district? |
57028 | Realise what? |
57028 | See? |
57028 | Shall I produce men and women with more imagination than intellect? |
57028 | She would learn much, but would she think? |
57028 | So, why learn up stuff that you can get in a dictionary any day?" |
57028 | Suppose you had to examine my school how would you do it?" |
57028 | The lady- bountifuls, or should it be the ladies- bountiful? |
57028 | The problem before me comes to this: How can I bring my bairns to take a rational elemental view of sex instead of a conventional hypocritical one? |
57028 | The question is this:--Will a democracy always be sure to choose the right man? |
57028 | Then he added,"And what micht yer politics be?" |
57028 | Time to take''em in again? |
57028 | Unfit physically; but unfit mentally? |
57028 | We all want to think that we are fighting for Belgium but are we? |
57028 | What am I trying to do? |
57028 | What does he imagine the purpose of life to be? |
57028 | What does it all mean? |
57028 | What eddication does a laddie need to herd kye?" |
57028 | What effect would Ysaye have on a village audience? |
57028 | What if I were hungry now? |
57028 | What is his standard of truth? |
57028 | What is the idea of punishment? |
57028 | What is the use of an India or a South Africa if East Ham is to remain? |
57028 | What is the use of anything? |
57028 | What is the use of the Three R''s, of Woodwork, of Drawing, of Geography, if Houndsditch is to remain? |
57028 | What sort of life has he been forced to lead?" |
57028 | What then? |
57028 | What was it?... |
57028 | What will I feed it on?" |
57028 | What would the men who had built hotels and houses say about the doctor? |
57028 | What would they do about the water supply?" |
57028 | Where are you going? |
57028 | Where did you drop from?" |
57028 | Who are the best? |
57028 | Who are the men with great imagination?... |
57028 | Who does not remember with holy tenderness his first kiss?..." |
57028 | Who knows what raptures great music might bring to a country child? |
57028 | Who wants to know what it will take to paper a room? |
57028 | Who was Arnold Forster? |
57028 | Why can not our bairns have the best? |
57028 | Why do n''t they shoot me?" |
57028 | Why had he no boots? |
57028 | Why is the average medallist at a university a man of tenth- rate ideas?" |
57028 | Why make all this pretence when everyone knows that it is"In the Cabinet''s name"? |
57028 | Why should I be dignified before my bairns? |
57028 | Why should n''t the bairns experience this thrill? |
57028 | Why should one lot be heroes and the other lot be cursed as traitors? |
57028 | Why specify that Nature Study will be taught? |
57028 | Why tell them all the stale lies about democracy, the freedom of the individual, the justice of our laws? |
57028 | Why waste time telling poor bairns to be temperate? |
57028 | Why? |
57028 | Why? |
57028 | Will Nietzsche''s type of Master man with his physical energy and warlikeness prove to be the best? |
57028 | Will a joiner keep an apprentice who makes a slovenly job?" |
57028 | Will they scorn me if I slide with them? |
57028 | Wo n''t you teach me, too?" |
57028 | Would Willie run away and play at horses if I told him to do what he liked best? |
57028 | Would they understand and appreciate? |
57028 | Yet I want them to believe in Peter Pan, or is it that I want them to believe in the beauty of beautiful stories? |
57028 | You gave him something?" |
57028 | You wanted a theoretical chimney- sweep, did n''t you?" |
57028 | You would never think of dancing a ragtime on this floor, would you? |
57028 | but I always say"Who did you see?" |
57028 | or Auckland? |
57059 | ''Are ye a''totaller?'' 57059 ''Aye, captain,''says he,''that''ll be dry wark?'' |
57059 | A brilliant idea, Jim, but who is to murder me? |
57059 | A good point,I cried;"in other words you mean that no man liveth unto himself and no man dieth unto himself, eh? |
57059 | A what? |
57059 | Also,I suggested,"the inspector might be annoyed?" |
57059 | And I suppose you gave me sweeties next day? |
57059 | And attendance would n''t count? |
57059 | And did Jan steal the plums? |
57059 | And did you congratulate him, Jan? |
57059 | And do you mean to tell me,he demanded,"that a boy will offer to learn his history and geography and arithmetic and grammar of his own free will?" |
57059 | And if ye wanted to bend? |
57059 | And is there a feed at a divorce? |
57059 | And since the Solomon tradition has been in vogue for quite a long time, do you consider that it has produced educated citizens as yet? |
57059 | And that''s your sole reason? |
57059 | And the pigeons? |
57059 | And what about it? 57059 And what if your mother says to you:''Jean, tell Janet to feed the hens?''" |
57059 | And what will ye do wi''yer hands? |
57059 | And why not? |
57059 | And why? |
57059 | And you never touched them? |
57059 | And you replied? |
57059 | And you''ll sit on him? |
57059 | Any amendment, gentlemen? |
57059 | Are the aristocracy really like what they are in this story? |
57059 | Are they, Margaret? |
57059 | Are we all agreed about this concert? |
57059 | Are you sure? |
57059 | As you say-- why not? 57059 Aw mind o''her,"nodded Andrew,"grass disease, was n''t it?" |
57059 | Aye,said Jim scornfully,"and if a button cam off what wud haud up yer breeks?" |
57059 | But have you never met anybody with a title? |
57059 | But tell me, Jean, did you say anything to them? |
57059 | But what can I do? |
57059 | But what is his nonsense to lead to? |
57059 | But why not? |
57059 | But why should I? |
57059 | But why? |
57059 | But why? |
57059 | But you agreed with him? |
57059 | But you see my point? |
57059 | But,a dominie might cry,"can you definitely blame elementary education for that?" |
57059 | But,she cried in perplexity,"is n''t there much good in the world too?" |
57059 | But... cud a machine no be invented? |
57059 | Call that a nasty problem? |
57059 | Can Aw tell lees? |
57059 | Come, come,said Macdonald impatiently,"keep to the point: what educational value has the penny dreadful?" |
57059 | D''ye mind the letters we used to write to one another? |
57059 | D''ye mind what we said, Ellen? 57059 Dickie,"I said,"are you and I to be friends or not?" |
57059 | Did Annie pull them down? |
57059 | Did Aw do any wrong? |
57059 | Did it answer them? |
57059 | Did they all work? |
57059 | Did ye miss the train? |
57059 | Did you chuck him out forcibly? |
57059 | Did you ever hear a good yarn without a point? |
57059 | Did you find any pupil improving? |
57059 | Did you''ear much abaht the war in Scotland? |
57059 | Do n''t you see that this village is a little British Empire? 57059 Do we make ourselves clear, Mr. Tennant? |
57059 | Do ye no mind? 57059 Do you blame Mr. Gordon for every drunk and every theft in the village? |
57059 | Do you know what I am laughing at? |
57059 | Do you mean to tell me he did n''t? |
57059 | Do you mean to tell me that you wo n''t speak to Jan when you are sleeping together? |
57059 | Do you? |
57059 | Down''t you get the pypers in Scotland? |
57059 | Eh? 57059 Eh?" |
57059 | Elephant? |
57059 | Ellen and Gladys and me''s never to speak to them again; are''n we no, Ellen? |
57059 | Ellen,said Janet,"d''ye mind that day when you and me got up and walked oot o''the room?" |
57059 | Funning? 57059 G''wa, lassie, what do you ken aboot breeks onywye?" |
57059 | Gentlemen of the jury, your verdict? |
57059 | Good morrow, sir,I called from the byre door,"you did n''t happen to see Mr. Thomson''s elephant as you came up the road?" |
57059 | Had you any trouble with swearing? |
57059 | Have ye seen the mannie that''s sellin''watches and things at the Cross? 57059 He took an awfu''reid face when he cam in this mornin'', did''n he, Jean?" |
57059 | Here, mister,said the dog,"ai n''t I going to get one?" |
57059 | Here,he cried,"did n''t you give him something?" |
57059 | Honest? |
57059 | How are the lies getting on, Jim? |
57059 | How are you getting on? |
57059 | How could she help it, Jan? |
57059 | How could they settle it otherwise? |
57059 | How did you guess? |
57059 | How do you defend Janet Brown''s week of anagrams? |
57059 | How do you know that they are wiser? |
57059 | How do you like Jim Jackson? |
57059 | How now, duke,I said breezily,"how much money have you left?" |
57059 | How often did you examine her classes? |
57059 | How''s the pond? |
57059 | I do n''t understand,said Margaret dully;"what do you mean by having a message?" |
57059 | I see,said the American thoughtfully,"you used your adult personality on the ground that it was the lesser of two evils? |
57059 | I was speerin''if you and Maggie are to hae a bairn? |
57059 | If an inspector stood at your desk chatting to you about the war, would you have a silent room? |
57059 | In other words you forgot your principles and punished? |
57059 | In that case,I said,"why not let them go on with the methods I gave them? |
57059 | Is being happy the best thing in life? |
57059 | Is it? 57059 Is there any seconder?" |
57059 | Is''t true? |
57059 | It''s true,said Ellen,"is n''t it Gladys?" |
57059 | Janet Broon, div Aw speak to navvies? |
57059 | Jean grat,said Gladys,"and so did Jan. What was ye greetin''aboot?" |
57059 | Jim,I said suddenly,"will you be my best man?" |
57059 | Look here,he began,"I wonder if you''ve any objection to my making a few alterations in the school live stock?" |
57059 | Man, d''ye tell me that na? 57059 Margaret, do you love me?" |
57059 | Margaret, why ca n''t people see that the Macdonald system is all wrong? 57059 Not one word?" |
57059 | Now you''ve disposed of the cake and the lady,I said,"what is to become of me?" |
57059 | Now, Ellen Smith, what is two and two? |
57059 | Now, what in all the earth do you mean by that? |
57059 | O, ye''re the manager, are ye? 57059 Perhaps they think I''d sneak the cash, eh?" |
57059 | Please, sir, what is it? |
57059 | Please, sir,he asked,"do you like that better than teaching?" |
57059 | Pretty awkward, eh? |
57059 | Rather because I am so handsome? |
57059 | Rivals in a love affair? |
57059 | Should I? |
57059 | That you and Maggie are to be married? |
57059 | Then in Heaven''s name what am I to do? |
57059 | Then what curriculum would you have? |
57059 | Then you would have each generation ignore all that had been said by men of previous generations? |
57059 | There was another letter, Annie,I said,"do you remember it?" |
57059 | They grin at your ignorance, eh? |
57059 | Tips? |
57059 | Want to introduce a cow? |
57059 | Weel, Wullie,is his invariable greeting when his boy returns from school in the evening,"Weel, Wullie, and did ye get yer licks the day?" |
57059 | Weel, what did she say that Aw was a navvy''s lass for then? |
57059 | Well, and what''s the remedy? |
57059 | Well, well, is n''t this rotten weather, what? 57059 Well,"I said cheerily,"what''s the news to- night?" |
57059 | Well,he laughed,"it seems a dirty trick to drink a chap''s whiskey and slate his ideas at the same time, does n''t it?" |
57059 | Well,he said with a grim smile,"what about those tools in the woodwork room? |
57059 | Well? |
57059 | Well? |
57059 | What I want to know is this: How are we to determine what things are important to know? 57059 What aboot when ye''re gaitherin''tatties?" |
57059 | What about Reading and Grammar? |
57059 | What about his children coming after him? |
57059 | What about it? |
57059 | What about nationalisation of land and mines and railways? |
57059 | What about this? |
57059 | What can you expect from a section of the community that has never been educated? 57059 What d''ye think o''my suggestion, dominie, eh?" |
57059 | What day was that? |
57059 | What did he say about them? |
57059 | What did he strap Jim Jackson for? |
57059 | What did you do? |

57059 | What do ye ca''it when ye stop bein''married? |
57059 | What do you mean by free day? |
57059 | What do you mean? |

57059 | What is a pacifist? |
57059 | What is an ego? |
57059 | What is education? |
57059 | What is it? |
57059 | What line did you take? |
57059 | What school did you come from? |
57059 | What sort of lesson will it be? |
57059 | What sort of show was it, Annie? |
57059 | What suggestion? |
57059 | What was it? |
57059 | What''ll you do about it? |
57059 | What''s it all about, eh? |
57059 | What''s the good of writing good English if you have n''t any ideas to write about? |
57059 | What''s the matter? |
57059 | What''s the row? |
57059 | What''s the use of scribbling silly rot like that? |
57059 | What''s wrong now? |
57059 | What''s wrong? |
57059 | What''s wrong? |
57059 | What? 57059 When are ye thinkin''o''killin''that black swine o''yours, John?" |
57059 | When did I say that? |
57059 | When is it to be? |
57059 | When you go home to- night just try to help your Jim with his algebra, will you? 57059 Where have you been, sir?" |
57059 | Where is the village school? |
57059 | Who proposed coming back, madam? |
57059 | Why are you late? |
57059 | Why are you so anxious that it should be Margaret? |
57059 | Why did ye come back? |
57059 | Why do awkward incidents occur to dignity? |
57059 | Why do rabbits have white tails? |
57059 | Why do you object to them? |
57059 | Why no? 57059 Why no?" |
57059 | Why not look in at the school some afternoon? |
57059 | Why not, Jim? |
57059 | Why not? |
57059 | Why should they do a dirty trick like that? 57059 Why should you?" |
57059 | Will Aw be yer--? |
57059 | Would n''t he be better reading good literature? 57059 Would you abolish compulsory attendance?" |
57059 | Would you say that they were Supermen? |
57059 | Wud Jim Jackson be yer chief mourner? |
57059 | Wud ye hae an oak coffin? |
57059 | Wud''n it? |
57059 | Yea, Mester? |
57059 | Yes,I went on,"I want to know what the devil you meant by saying that I suffered from swelled head?" |
57059 | You are thinking of the wedding feast I presume, my lad, what? |
57059 | You criticise everything,she cried angrily,"do n''t you believe that there is any good in the world?" |
57059 | You know that confounded committee of villagers that has charge of the Soup Kitchen Fund? |
57059 | You obey the-- er-- the wisdom of the ages? |
57059 | Your nerves are all to pot,he said;"what have you been doing with yourself?" |
57059 | ''Verra pleased to meet ye,''says Aw...''and hoo is yer missis and the bairns?'' |
57059 | ''Who did this?'' |
57059 | ''Who''s going to be whopped for this?'' |
57059 | ''Will anyone oblige me by giving me a penny for half- a- crown?'' |
57059 | ***"Look here,"said Macdonald to me to- night,"the School Board election is coming off soon; why do n''t you stand?" |
57059 | 7 WHEN WERE YOU BORN? |
57059 | After tea Gladys suddenly said:"Come on, we''ll play at schules, eh?" |
57059 | Again why should geography be of more importance than anatomy? |
57059 | Am I magnifying a merely personal matter? |
57059 | Am I merely piqued because I was cut? |
57059 | And Ellen? |
57059 | And Gladys? |
57059 | And Jean?... |
57059 | And a society of workers running their own business would not have the gumption to see that the new methods would be a gain in the end?" |
57059 | And, Jean, just look in and tell Jim Jackson not to buy a new dickie, will you?" |
57059 | Any amendment, gentlemen?" |
57059 | Are you going to send for it to Herbert Jenkins Ltd., 3, York Street, St. James''s, London, S.W.1? |
57059 | Because Solomon said a thing is it eternally true? |
57059 | But are they? |
57059 | But do n''t you think that that was a mistake? |
57059 | But have I fallen in love with anyone? |
57059 | But tell me, Janet, how am I to know what sort of woman I am marrying?" |
57059 | But what of the Stradivarius violins? |
57059 | But why select pageants? |
57059 | But you have got all the others; surely you do n''t grudge me Jim and the five girls?" |
57059 | But, my dear, do you specially want to learn things like that?" |
57059 | By the way how do you propose to get the money?'' |
57059 | By the way, what sort of a teacher is Miss Watson?" |
57059 | Ca n''t you see that children are really decent kindly creatures with their own philosophy, that is, their own idea of the importance of things? |
57059 | Can you direct me to the-- er-- village post- office?" |
57059 | Could we no invent a digger that wud hoal the tatties and gaither them at the same time?" |
57059 | Dickens for instance?" |
57059 | Did ye keep the top storey o''the cake, Maggie?" |
57059 | Did you kiss the bridesmaids?" |
57059 | Do you allow conversation in your school?" |
57059 | Do you believe in ghosts?" |
57059 | Do you imagine that all the child processes in the world could save a child from an environment like that?" |
57059 | Do you know that popular song_ You Made Me Love You_? |
57059 | Do you mean to say that because a thing has a tradition behind it it must be believed for ever? |
57059 | Do you think I should join it?" |
57059 | Do you think it wrong for a teacher to compel a boy to attend to a lesson?" |
57059 | Have you seen it?" |
57059 | Have you?" |
57059 | He has an interest in the plant, has n''t he? |
57059 | He never sits down of an evening saying to himself:"Now, is Nancy my soul- mate? |
57059 | How dare the teachers of Scotland ask that the school age be raised to fifteen when our city schools are barracks like that? |
57059 | How many of you know the capital of Bolivia? |
57059 | How the devil are bairns to gain any perspective in life if a fool like Macdonald spends half a day investigating nothing? |
57059 | I called,"why have you given up looking at me?" |
57059 | I continued,"what about the whole damned lot of registers and log books and Form 9 b''s? |
57059 | I cried,"is Peter dead?" |
57059 | I cried,"what did he write?" |
57059 | I cried,"what''s become of Ellen and Gladys and Jean?" |
57059 | I cried,"what''s the matter?" |
57059 | I imagine Peter Mitchell looking over the dyke and crying:"Weel, dominie, and how is the experiment in eddication gettin''on?" |
57059 | I just says to her says Aw:''Wha stailt the plums that mither brocht hame on Saturday nicht?''" |
57059 | I said with a laugh,"a dozen of them, wo n''t we, Margaret?" |
57059 | I said,"what do you think of it?" |
57059 | I took two stots into the mart yesterday, and when they entered the ring a wag cried:"Are they weel up in the Greek, think ye, Frank?" |
57059 | I wonder why there are two sides to this question of education? |
57059 | I wrote her a letter....''My Dear Annie, do you think yourself bonny to- day?'' |
57059 | If I had come along in a Rolls- Royce car and given you a lift, would you have offered to reward me? |
57059 | If children are the saints you make them out to be, how did your boys come to spoil good tools?" |
57059 | If we make our schools decent places the poor profiteers will be in the soup, wo n''t they? |
57059 | If you insist on perfect truthfulness why do you try to hide the truth about the sex of pigeons? |
57059 | Is Money the Reward of Ability? |
57059 | Is he so righteous that he shall punish a boy for swearing? |
57059 | Is her sense of humour something like my own? |
57059 | Is it so very wonderful?" |
57059 | Is that quite clear? |
57059 | Is this a mighty event? |
57059 | Is what true?" |
57059 | It''s a sort of habit of yours coming back, is n''t it? |
57059 | It''s disgraceful, is n''t it, Jan?" |
57059 | Laziness?" |
57059 | Macdonald would say:"Quite so, but could you prove that it is a bad thing?" |
57059 | May we not be absolutely incompatible in temperament?" |
57059 | Mean to tell me your desk was open for two years?" |
57059 | My dear Jean, when a girl hands back the engagement ring, do you mean to tell me she is funning?" |
57059 | My sister Sally''s married to a pynter in Dundee, Peter Macnab; do you know''i m?" |
57059 | One day when I wasna attendin''to the lesson ye wrote''Annie Miller is sacked''on a bit paper and gave it to me?" |
57059 | So you think that reading penny dreadfuls is education?" |
57059 | So, captain, Aw was just thinkin''that Aw wud like ye to carry up thae peppermints yersel... ye''re a married man, are ye no?'' |
57059 | Syne Aw sent a telegram to the Wanners vet, and when he cam he says to me, says he--""Any amendment, gentlemen?" |
57059 | Tell me, what boy in this room answered best?" |
57059 | The lock''s broken; how long has it been like that?" |
57059 | The point is would it do me any good? |
57059 | The question for the teacher is: What am I aiming at? |
57059 | Then I wrote her again....''Do you ever tell lies?'' |
57059 | Then why in the name of thunder did I kiss her? |
57059 | Was that religion or a swear?" |
57059 | Was the freedom of behaviour and criticism you allowed them not the best antidote to home prejudices?" |
57059 | We are governed from above; do you admit that?" |
57059 | We discussed Votes for Women, Should Women Smoke? |
57059 | We have conscripted life because the State required men to give their lives; why not conscript wealth in the same way? |
57059 | Weel, why the hell''s the band''s no playin''?" |
57059 | Well, how the deuce can I claim to help him to make it up when I ca n''t make up my own? |
